> January 10, 2011Photo Courtesy of onnawufei.deviantart.comCheckers and stripes - I've never really thought of that. Those patterns look simply amazing together. The owner of this photo has been a member of DeviantArt.com for 7 years now - with the amazing status of 636 Deviations, 49,146 Comments, 470,729 Page views, 73 Scraps, 2 Critiques, 217 Forum Posts, and 2,247 Favorites! She goes by the names "Onnawufei", "Onnawaffle", just plain "Onna" or "Zim"; I like Zim. I was so thrilled to, not only have her permission to post up this wonderful photo, but also to get an interview with her. The interview is below!

--What inspired you to take those pictures?: Well Ko's character is an artist, so I was trying to think of something she might think of, if that makes any sense. Somehow that ended in me drawing a checkerboard pattern on poster board, which took way longer than it should have. *laugh*

Besides dolls, what else do you enjoy taking pictures of?: I love taking pictures of animals, nature, architecture... most things really. I'm not a huge fan of taking people pictures but I'm game for pretty much anything else.

What type of doll is that in those pictures (Barbie, Blythe, Bratz, etc....)?: The doll in the picture is an Asian balljoint doll, specifically a CP Soony.

Did you use PhotoShop, or any other program/software, for those pictures?: I use Lightroom 2 and Photoshop CS3 to edit pretty much all my pictures.

Besides "checkers and stripes", what other patterns do you like?: I like spiral patterns. Spirals are probably my favorite... if that counts.

Random, but if the doll in the picture had a favorite color - what would it be?: Ko's the kind of girl who would tell you a favorite color one week, but tell you a different one a week later. This week I'd say her favorite color is yellow. *giggle*-- The End.
